Actually, Jagmeet and his NDP team have accomplished more to make life better for ordinary Canadians than at any time since David Lewis in the 1970s. It's an impressive list: Denticare, Pharamacare, Childcare, anti-scab legislation, and vastly improved help for workers and small business during covid-19 and more. Now, predictably, the Liberals are talking like they want to abandon progressive politics and move to the right. That's not how we beat Poilievre. This is a great opportunity for the NDP to focus on the nonsense of Conservative games-playing with no real solutions on offer, and promises of cuts (which they say in code when they promise to get spending under control).
I largely agree with this article and particularly bemoan the loss of Jody Wilson-Raybould in the political arena. She stood up to the powers-that-be and suffered a consequence she did not deserve. She is a true Canadian heroine. What this article does ignore, however, is Trudeau's excessive spending. The country is running huge annual deficits and has a sky-high national debt totaling $1.5 trillion USD. We are ill prepared to deal with any potential excise taxes imposed by Trump, and Canadians remain embarrassed by our failure to meet the 2% of GDP commitment on military expenses to NATO.
I'd still take Trudeau over Poilievre. At least the NDP could force him to do some good for Canadians--all of which Poilievre will try to dismantle.
Too bad all the people who like the policies Singh forced Trudeau to support won't vote NDP.

Congratulations to 🇨🇦. May you get back on track as soon as possible.
